A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Planet Technology POE-2400, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Planet Technology POE-2400 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Planet Technology POE-2400. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Planet Technology POE-2400 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Planet Technology POE-2400
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Planet Technology POE-2400 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Planet Technology POE-2400 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Planet Technology POE-2400 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Planet Technology POE-2400, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Planet Technology service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Planet Technology POE-2400.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Planet Technology POE-2400 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

Based on the global standard IEEE 802.3af, PoE is a technology for w ired Ethernet, the most w idely installed local area network technology adopted today. PoE allow s the electrical pow er necessary for the operat ion of each end-device to be carried by data cables rather than by s eparate pow er cor[...]

    29 The data pairs are used. Since Ethernet pairs are transformer c oupled at each end, it is possi ble to apply DC power to the center tap of the isolat ion transformer without upsetting t he data transfer. In this mode of operation the pair on pins 3 and 6 and the pair on pins 1 and 2 can be of either polarity. Figure 3 - Pow er Supplied over the [...]

    30 6. THE POE PROVISION PROCESS While adding PoE support to networked devices is relatively pai nless, it should be realized that pow er cannot simply be transferred over existing CAT-5 cables. Wi thout proper preparati on, doing so may result in dam age to devices that are not designed to support provision of power over their netw ork interfaces. [...]

    31 6.3 Start-up Once line detection and optional classification stages are complet ed, the PSE must switch from low voltage to its full voltage capacity (44-57 Volts) over a minimal amount of time (above 15 microseconds). A gradual startup is required, as a sudden rise in volt age (reaching high frequencies) w oul d introduce noise on the data line[...]
